Lush : Herbalism Cleanser

I wash with Herbalism, then follow with LUSH's Tea Tree Water Toner and LUSH's Vanishing Cream Moisturizer. My face really seems to like this combination. It leaves my combination skin nicely balanced; not dry, not oily. It isn't causing me to get more pimples, which is a miracle in itself! Most products don't cause me to break out, but will slowly start increasing acne over time. I've been using the Herbalism for a little over a month and I'm not getting more acne. My skin is left glowing and much smoother. The only things I hate are the smell and the packaging! I always end up dropping some because of how it crumbles.

This was my first Lush product, and I reeeaaaly wanted to like it--I really did. However, I actually think it made my skin worse, AKA causing more breakouts. It did make my face softer and smoother, but even St. Ives can do that, and for a much lower price as well. It also smelled funny and left this disturbing residue on my face, which normally would've irked me beyond belief. However, it didn't, since I was trying so hard to like it. I'm sorry Lush, but this just ain't working out for me.

first off all i love lush i adore it and i use alot of lush stuff in my skin care routine, when i first got this it worked i used whole pot, then i had to stop as i was getting breakouts in places i dont break out in much. i still sometimes use it, its good for big breakouts but shouldnt be used all time !

I have had an ongoing battle with teen acne for years. I used Accutane last year, and even though it helped my acne tremendously, I still get pimples here and there. I have combination skin, which gets oily and flaky at the same time! It's very annoying. A few months ago, I got a chemical peel and it left flaky dry patches on both sides of my face between my mouth and nose. They would not go away for months. After using Herbalism twice, the dry patches were completely gone. It evened out the oiliness and dryness of my skin, and has improved my acne without being too harsh on my skin. I don't trust anything else on my face! A container of Herbalism is a little more expensive than drugstore facial cleansers, but it is worth it and it lasts for months. Oh, and it exfoliates, too. All the ingrediants are organic, vegan, and gentle.

It may seem expensive but I use a dime sized amount every day and my small container is still 2/3 full. I love that Lush uses organic ingredients whenever possible. If you have a chance to try this out go for it! I use a gentle rosewater toner and Neutrogena moisturizer afterward, and mask twice a week. My skin hasn't looked this good since before high school.

It has been 2 months since I first use this product. I still am being troubled with acne that occurred using this.. Before, I never had any acne on my cheeks or my forehead, which now I do. I mean, I had one or two on my chin, but never this much acne that can cover my cheeks and my forehead. If I knew using this product will cause me to have permanent acne scarring on my cheeks, I would've never! never! use this... (yes, I squeezed my big white puffy acne on my cheeks..) It can be very risky trying new products.. Currently, I've recovered 85% from the damage.

Yes its very messy. Yes the smell is not the best. However this is a great product. It is gentle which is good for sensitive skin but it also exfoliates. It leaves my skin feeling really soft after. Calms my skin down.

This is a nice and gentle exfoliating cleanser. I have extremely delicate/reactive skin and have had no issues using this on a daily basis. I couldn't say if it does much for acne or oil control, but I don't rely on cleansers for that since they're on the skin for such a short amount of time. I do need physical exfoliation as my skin doesn't tolerate alpha hydroxy acids and this gets the job done well. I have also noticed fewer clogged pores and blackheads as a result of the mild but regular exfoliation. My skin feels extremely smooth afterwards and not at all tight or dry (one of my biggest issues with most cleansers). It is also calming and I notice a reduction in surface redness after use. I would consider repurchasing, though I'm also interested in trying the Aqua Marina cleansing "roll".

I had very high hopes for this cleanser, seeing how it cleared many people's acne. Before this, I tried dark angels. That one did NOT work either. I have cystic acne, pretty bad, all along my chin and cheeks. This completely worsened it and I had the worst, most painful pimples come in after one day. Also, my blackheads multiplied and they were literally the size of my large freckles on my face. When I used my toner, a green residue was left on my cotton pad, like I didn't rinse it all off. Not the best cleanser

I started using Herbalism as of a month ago. i did see change at first, but after a while my blemishes came back. it also does not help when coming to minimize the redness. its overall good at making your skin smooth tho. although i did buy it because it said it would even squinting as well, didn't work its magic on that either. it is a bit weird at first when using, you get used to it tho.
